Reviving an old thread...

I have installed freetype and got simhei.ttf from the net. I think somehow freetype made my X font look worse than before. And chinese characters are still boxes in all programs.

I'm not really sure what I should do now. How do I get X to use the chinese font? I am using xfce4 btw...

Please pay extra attention on the browser setting.You have to set your browswer->preference->content and set the suitable font to display the character correctly.

If you have any further problem,please post your message on LQ.
